6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (11 Oct - Results & Review)
KO stirs up more trouble; Roman Reigns "needs help"; WWE brings Raw to SmackDown.
Roman Reigns was in the house for Friday's post-Bad Blood edition of SmackDown, and the 'OTC' has a decision to make that'll bleed over onto Raw. Man, lot of blood-related shenanigans going on around here these days. More could be shed once WWE reaches Survivor Series and a seemingly-inevitable War Games showdown between family.
Everyone's buzzing for Jey Uso's next natural story arc.
Speaking of Raw, Monday's flagship dropping to two hours until the end of the year meant Triple H fancied squeezing some red brand action on the blue side. That's fine for major, promotion-wide stories like The Bloodline, but less agreeable for plots concerning Crown Jewel that people (including those penning TV) will forget after the next Saudi jaunt.
That couldn't kill the energetic vibes SmackDown was giving off this week, but it could become a problem over the next few episodes if Hunter isn't careful. Back on the plus side, there was some payoff for Kevin Owens attacking Cody Rhodes in the parking lot recently. Let's just say R-KO's tag-team run is on ice.
Here's all the good and bad from a newsworthy two hours.
